PIPE-HANGER.

To all whom it may concern: 4

Be it known that I, ALBERT J. WAYMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Palestine, in the county of Columbiana and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pipe- Hangers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip tion of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apper tains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to hangers for conduits and pipes.

Its object is to provide a device whose parts may be quickly assembled and readily applied to secure a pipe or conduit in place.

i "To this end it comprises the combinations and parts recited in the appen'ded claims.

I11 the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is" a side elevation of the device -p'plied to girder which is shown in sec nan;

"Fig'. 'Z 'is a perspective View;

. Figs. 3 and 4 are details of different forms of the hanger embodying the same princi 1e.

In the drawing 1 represents a conduit or pipe,2 a hanger loop, and 3 a looking or wedgingiongue' which secures loop about the pipeorfcohdu'it. ilhe loop has the custernary opposed web pieces which are perforated to receive a '"securingbolt 5. These webpieces are slightly-separated to readily receive the locking tongue 3. The locking tonguehas an elongated perforation 6 which registers the perforation in the web pieces so that tongue may move ':,,fo'rizonta'l1y with relation to the screw bolt 5. i "The locking, tongue has an inclined face adapted to takeover the base of a girderasfillustrated. I'plreferably reduce the-oppositeor'head end. I

fling or wedging tongue is dllVGlIIOlWald by hammering upon its short end or head foroi'ng the inclined face of the locking tongue up the adjacent base of the girder and thus drawing each loop 2' tightly about the pipe or conduit.

At 7 I have shown an additional securing device, a strip of metal. carried upon the screw bolt 5 and adapted to be bent across the face of the head of the locking tongue to secure it in place after it is driven home.

In Fig. 3 is shown one form of loop with web pieces at the top, and in Fig. 4 is shown another form of loop with'web pieces at both the top and bottom. Y

1. In a pipe-hanger, the combination with a hangerloop having opposed web pieces, of alo'cki'ng tongue havinglan inclined face to engage a girder orfother support adapted to operate betweentlieiv 'eb pieces.

2, In a pi e-hangei, the combination of a hanger loop a vi n gfweb pieces, and awedg- '1ng tongue carried between the web pieces and adapted to be hammered intolooking position. x

In a pipe-hanger, the combination of a loop -hangedperforating Web p eces, a securing bolt passing throughthe perforations, and a locking tongue havin an elongated perioration through whicht 'e securingbolt passes, a projecting part'forrriing ahead on the therside of the Web pieces. I I

" 4. In a pipe ha-nger, the combinatlon of a hanger-loop having web piecesyaiwedging tongue lying between the web pieces and a gi'iard eolnprisin'g asheetof metal adapted to be bent around theprojecting head of the tongue after it is adjustedto the locking position, I
